Vox Machina has stopped the Briarwoods’ evil ritual, but at a heavy cost. As they flee the Ziggurat to save one of their own, Percy is eager to take revenge on their prisoner, Delilah Briarwood. When Vex implores him to let go of his vengeance, Percy must confront the darkness within himself.

In disguise, Raishan visits Vox Machina with a promise of aid. She tells them of a vestige capable of defeating Thordak; the Plate of the Dawnmartyr. The team is divided on trusting the duplicitous dragon, but journeys to the city of Marquet to test if she speaks true.
